Contractual Senior Frontend Engineer

Decentralized Video Platform, Youtube alternative.

Tools: React, Redux, Sentry, Flow, Arweave

Description

I pioneered the development of Odysee’s new Shorts feature, delivering a responsive, high-performance video experience across mobile and desktop. This included implementing autoplay logic, navigation/URL state synchronization, video aspect-ratio handling, scroll-driven UI behavior, and Redux-based state flows for recommended content. I refactored core React components to improve maintainability and performance, managed state with Redux resolved long-standing rendering issues (duplicate key warnings, unnecessary rerenders), and collaborated closely with the engineering team to ship a stable, scalable feature now used in production. My work focused heavily on implementing the best UX for quite a number of users, debugging complex UI behavior, improving performance, and ensuring a polished user experience.
